Why extract wisdom teeth in winter?

Are you planning to have your wisdom teeth extracted and are unsure about the timing? Although we perform this procedure all year round, the colder months offer several advantages that can make your recovery much more comfortable.

Natural cooling and less swelling High summer temperatures dilate blood vessels, which can promote greater bleeding and more pronounced swelling after surgery. Lower outdoor temperatures naturally help to reduce inflammation and swelling of the face.

Rest is more bearable in winter After wisdom tooth extraction, it is necessary to rest and avoid physical exertion. In cold weather it is more natural for most people to stay at home in the warmth with a book or a film.

Faster healing without the risk of overheating In summer, there is a risk of overheating, which is not conducive to wound healing. In the winter months, it is easier to maintain a stable body temperature and wounds generally heal more calmly.

Don't leave it to the last minute Wisdom teeth tend to make themselves known at the least opportune times, such as before your summer holiday. By solving the problem preventively in winter, you can ensure a peaceful, pain-free summer.
